The Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed concerns over the development activities which Azerbaijan has launched at the Ghazanchetsots Cathedral of the Holy Savior Shushi (Nagorno-Karabakh).
Below is an official statement calling attention to the acts of vandalism and apparent attempts to deprive the monument of its original Armenian identity:
“The actions being carried out by Azerbaijan at the Ghazanchetsots Cathedral of the Holy Savior in Shushi are deplorable, as there are already many precedents for the destruction of Armenian places of worship, monuments, as well as for justification of such actions.
“Among the many war crimes committed by the Azerbaijani armed forces during the aggression against Artsakh is the deliberate targeting of the Shushi Ghazanchetsots Cathedral with high precision weapons twice within a day, followed by the act of vandalism after the ceasefire was established.
